I love Fall, it is one of my most favorite seasons.  As Halloween gets closer, I like to make luminaries to line the walk way to the front door.  Where I live now, we don't get any little trick or treaters :( - but I can still enjoy luminaries on my table.

 

The luminary base came from the Silhouette Studio, in the software I was able to take an image from Nikki's  "Beary Scary" file and cut a hole in his belly for the tea light to shine through.  The smaller luminary, I used Nikki's "print and cut" feature and cut the shape of the Frankenstein bear and then placed two colored ones on each side.  Nikki's files are so versatile with all the different file types, the possibilities are truly endless.

 

Here is a picture of them lit up with battery tea lights.

I placed a little sheet of vellum behind the openings.  I love how they came out and you can do this with any of Nikki's files - like I said, the possibilities are endless.  Hope I inspired you to think outside the box.

 

I am offering BLOG CANDY!!  All you have to do is go to www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com and tell me what your favorite file is.  You can win a Martha Stewart's CIRCLE CUTTER.
